KEY GAME INFORMATION

NEW ORLEANS: Following a promising 2012 season, the New Orleans VooDoo took a step back in 2013. The team battled injuries and personnel change, resulting in a 5-13 record. After a record-setting 2012 season, quarterback Kurt Rocco was limited to 11 games in 2013. Injuries to key offensive components led the VooDoo to finish 13th in overall offense after finishing seventh in 2012. Offensive production was down across the board, including points per game, total offense, and passing yardage. To remedy that in 2014, the team scooped up New Orleans-native and LSU graduate wide receiver Skyler Green, who played with the VooDoo from 2011-12. The squad also added former LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux to challenge Rocco for playing time. The squad will receive a boost defensively, as Jack linebacker Alvin Ray Jackson returns to the team after a season in Pittsburgh, while veteran defensive back Travis Coleman was acquired from division rival Orlando in a trade.

PORTLAND: Professional football is returning to Portland in 2014! The newly-minted Portland Thunder will be among the youngest teams in the League, but could be one of the most talented as well. With offensive guru Matthew Sauk at the helm for the Thunder, fans should expect plenty of scoring. Each of the last three AFL MVP winners have been coached by Sauk and Portland fans are hoping former Oregon Ducks quarterback Darron Thomas becomes No. 4. Thomas is a strong-armed dual-threat quarterback who was a very successful college quarterback in Eugene, while his camp competition, Nathan Enderle, was a four-year starter at Idaho and threw for over 10,000 yards during his career. Whoever coach Sauk pegs as his starting quarterback will have talent to throw to on the outside. Just before training camp started, the Thunder made a move with Philadelphia that sent versatile receiver Andrae Thurman to Portland. Last season with the Soul, four-year veteran set career highs in receptions and receiving yards. The team also recently acquired former San Jose Sabercats leading receiver Samora Goodson. Former Spokane Shock wideouts Duane Brooks and Jeffrey Soloman should also play a role in 2014. On the opposite side of the ball, the Thunder will have talent, albeit young, at every level. Starting with the secondary, Portland has three veterans they will rely on. One of those veterans is Eric Crocker, who spent all of last season in the NFL with the New York Jets. The Thunder selected Crocker with the first overall pick in December's Expansion Draft. Portland also picked up Patrick Stoudamire from Spokane and Dwight McLean from New Orleans. Up front, the coaches will have high expectations for talented rookie defensive lineman Donte Paige-Moss, who was a force at the University of North Carolina. Former Arizona Rattlers end Antron Dillon will also be relied on to become a playmaker. With Seattle just less than three hours north of Portland, the Thunder will look to solidify the Pacific Northwest as the new hotbed of pro football.
